British comedian John Cleese on how he created the character of Basil Fawlty from the classic British sitcom Fawlty Towers (1975, 1979). Cleese reveals that Fawlty - an eccentric, chronically uptight, hotelier - was inspired by a real-life hotel manager he encountered in Torquay, England called Mr Sinclair. See the funniest, most splendiferous and bizarre moments on a show that had five million Aussies a week turning on their TV sets in the 1970s and 80s. https://www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/curat
